Coronavirus In St. Charles: 'Stronger Together' Program Launched

ST. CHARLES, IL — St. Charles Chamber of Commerce has launched a program — Stronger Together: How to Help Our Community — aimed at directly helping first responders, restaurants and nonprofits during the coronavirus pandemic. According to a news release and Facebook post from the St. Charles Chamber of Commerce, community members are encouraged to support first responders by purchasing meals for them from a local restaurant, as the chamber added that local restaurants are ready for your donations.

"We are so grateful for our Medical professionals, police, and firemen, for continuing to work and persevere through this crisis," the chamber wrote.

The chamber website provides links for community members to coordinate meal and time requests in advance, including a list of local restaurants.
